AI Limits, published by napxlexn and currently at version 0.6.4 with three released versions to date, is a tiny native Windows 11 floating overlay designed to display AI provider usage limits directly on the desktop. Categorized as a desktop utility and monitoring tool for AI-assisted development workflows, it presents usage information for Claude, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Google Antigravity in a compact overlay window, allowing users to track how close they are to their provider limits without switching away from their current work. The software operates by relying on authentication already stored by official CLI tools, or on credentials that the user adds manually, and it deliberately does not refresh CLI tokens, keeping its interaction with provider accounts minimal. It also sends no telemetry, which distinguishes it as a privacy-conscious choice among monitoring utilities. From a technical standpoint, AI Limits requires no administrator rights to run, ships statically linked with no additional runtime dependencies, and maintains a low idle resource footprint, making it suitable for continuous background use on a developer's machine. A taskbar indicator complements the floating overlay by keeping usage information visible even when the overlay itself is hidden, so users are not forced to dedicate screen space to the window at all times. Typical use cases include monitoring quota consumption during intensive coding sessions with AI assistants, comparing remaining capacity across multiple providers before starting a task, and avoiding unexpected interruptions caused by hitting usage ceilings mid-workflow. Because it targets Windows 11 natively and integrates with the credential storage of existing command-line tools, AI Limits fits naturally into environments where developers already rely on CLI-based AI tooling from Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub, or Google. Across its three released versions, culminating in the current 0.6.4 release, the application has remained focused on this single, narrowly defined purpose: surfacing provider usage limits unobtrusively on the desktop.
